Description
Chuck Feeney co-founded Duty Free Shoppers in 1960 and became one of the richest men in America. Then he quietly moved his fortune into a foundation, and his business partners were never told.
For years the money left by cashier's check, so nobody could trace where it came from. In 1997 he told The New York Times himself. By 2020 the foundation had given away every dollar.
He gave away more than $8 billion and kept about $2 million. Warren Buffett said of him: "Chuck's been the model for us all."
Was he right to hide it from his partners? Tell me in the comments.
